NATIONAL EDITORIAL 151 l.g"5T9 Monday Afternoon; March 27, 1950 fr ' a- , -- - '. N ii i ' i Troubles, Troubles, Troubles. . ' ; Troubles seem to be a dime a dozen, or even cheaper, for the state administration these days. ' Just a week or so ago, one Scott appointee resigned from the Safety Division after it was learned he had spent the state money unwise ly. Hardly had that incident gotten off the front pages, when the State Board of Elec tions ignored a state law, causing lots of un favorable criticism, and then had to rescind their actions. The day before the Elections Board met to undo what they had done a few days before, a grand jury in Beauford county brought a bill of indictment against the head of the highway patrol for illegal use of his siren a mong a group of citizens attending a funeral. We should hasten to. say that an indictment does not mean guilty. That is a matter for the court to decide. And in fairness to the ; commander, he said he was on his way to in vestigate a wreck, and did not know the -crowd on the highway was gathered there for a funl-n a M am a ..,. , . .-,; However, all this is causing more than passing anxiety in arid about the governor's office. Twice in recent weeks the record has been broken in this community for amount of blood given the Red Cross in this district. On January 31, the bloodmobile went away with 101 pints for a new record. Red Cross officials away from here questioned to some degree, just how such a remarkable job was accomplished. The project was sponsored by the Lions Club. v V Last week the January record was surpass ed when the same bloodmobile left here with 104 pints. This time the event was sponsored by the Hazelwood Boosters Club. It is interesting to note the increase in vol unteers in Janualy the volunteers number ed 123. and last week in Hazelwood the volun teer list reached 155. Out of the 155, there were 51 who were temporarily rejected, be cause of recent colds, or flu. Through the cooperation of the AFL union at Unagusta and the Company officials, about 80 per cent of the volunteers were from this one concern. ; ' We expect it will be a long time before any place in the entire mountain area will go be yond 104 pints, unless it is this community that will break its own record again, There are a lot of practical lessons to be derived from such a program, such as coop eration, community spirit, feelings for one's fellowman, and many others, which all boil down to what we have enjoyed saying many, many times before "it is things like this that help make this a good place to live." j T hev'il Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo wolrjs Always had the world's (cream o'tpe cpop secr5tar est1ll HE UPANPARf?,EP CK OF THEM : No Mechanical Umpires Needed Some baseball officials are checking, and plan to try out an "electric-eye" umpire in exhibition games. If the plan works as well as previous tests indicate it might, then, the mechanical umpire might be utilized through out the season. " Already there is a wave of protest arising from the suggestion.' While the fans realize that the "electric-eye" might be more accu rate' than the human eye in calling strikes andj balls, who would get any fun out of boo ing an electric gadget? The American baseball fan wants the priv ilege of lassing abuse at the umpire just as much as seeing the game. In fact, the av erage fan feels this sport would' be ruined if he could not express himself to the umpire. It is all right to use the gadgets for prac tice, but no gadget, no matter how perfect, will ever take the place of a thick-Mded, stubborn umpire. An Edition Of Merit ' The gigantic edition of .The Citizen-Times Sunday took us back 80 years, and by thorough coverage of the period with well written articles and pictures, brought us up through the years to today. : The undertaking of publishing such an edi tion can only be understood and fully appreci ated by those who are familiar with the vast detail, and' amount of hard work entailed in "putting out" such an issue. . The entire staff of the Asheville newspap er can well feel proud of their efforts, and the fruits of their labors will live long after they have become rested for their mental and physical toils. The citizen was only "sweet sixteen" when The Mountaineer was born. Perhaps in journ alistic terms,, that makes the Asheville paper a "big sister" to this publication. Any way, we offer hearty, t congratulations; ; a to .our neighbor attaining her 80th" birthday! and look forward to the day, when we can "dress up" in a' big 164-page edition as beautiful and stunning as "sister" blossomed out in Sunday. . f WHY, BOSS!

Capital Letters By ELLA NIXON GREENWOOD Haywood Sons In Politics Another of Haywood's sons, now living in another state, has thrown his hat into the political ring. ' The latest is Edward J. Robeson, Jr., of Newport News, Va., who is seeking a seat in Congress. One of the slogans being used in Mr. Robeson's campaign is "A new different type of candidate for Virginia." Another of the slogan? on his campaign folder is: 'Vote for Robeson and you vote for better govern ment." Besides Mr, Robeson seeking a place in Congress, there is Rep. George Smathers battling away in Florida for a place in the Senate. The last issue of Life Magazine carri ed pictures of Rep. Smathers and his oppon ent Senator Claude Pepper. . Haywood will watch with interest the polit ical races of these two sons.

His experience with 25 cases "conditioned" by doses of emetics to be nauseated by the taste, sight, smell or even thought of alcohol showed that those who Does flouting convention ''show your independence"? Answer: Quite the contrary. Be cause acting in ways that your neighbors disapprove of always invites unpleasant consequences, a maturely independent person who decides to live according to his own rules does as little as he can to draw attention to himself or his behavior. It's the man who at heart still takes other people's ideas seriously who feels driven to prove to himself that he can get away with defying them by "tell ing the world" that he intends to do as he pleases and that "if you do not like It you can lump it." FIRST ONE OUT Jeff Wilson of Biscoe and Durham, who has done a fine job of making the peo ple : safety-conscious during his short time as head of the Highway Safety--Division, has resigned. Jeff, fat and good-natured, used his ex pense account too freely, embar rassed the administration, and is moving on, The first one to go. He visited two or three places about the State as a Lion and a Young Democrat and let the State pay his-- expenses'. .'Wilson- reported that he rlso attended to State busi ness while on these trips, It may be that Wilson was 'in the wrong, but if every State employee who attends to other business while on State trips were to resign, Gov ernor Kerr Scott wouldn't have enough assistants to open up to morrow morning. NOTES Although a few of the Congressmen-, now have opposi tion, none oC them . . . with the possible- exception of Eighth Dis trict Congressman C. B. Deanp , . . should .have much trouble return ing to Washington for another two years. Snnfoid's Bill Horner came within 3!'4 votes of receiving the nomination in 1946. He did not run in 1948. Horner refers to him-, self as a "middle-of-the-road liber al," while Congressman Deane is regarded as the most liberal of North Carolina Congressmen , . . J '. : Any opposition costs the incumbent money. Any old oppon ent is so much worse than no op ponent it all. Now in the Fifth District, Congressman Thurmond Chatham must take on Arehis Dan iels, mayor of Draper arid Dare County native, and Congressman Carl Durham has Ernest R. Wil liamson of populous Durham on his hands ... A rule in politics is never to underestimate the op position, whatever it may be ". . ... Sen. Harry Byrd of . Virginia, the coriservatist conservative, but just as sincere in his conservation as is Frank Graham with his' lib eralism, spoke -to delegates attend ing the N. C, Citizens Association annual meeting here last Wednes day evening;,, H made a. good speech for his side of the argu ment, praising William B. Umstead, former' U.'S.' Congressman and U. S. Senator and a likely candidate for Governor in 1952. He lauded the intellect of the late Sen. Josiah William Bailey and he liked Sen. Clyde R. Hoey, but naturally re frained from mentioning the name of Sen. Frank Graham, who had his day at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner . . . ' . . . . Sen. Byrd made one state ment that shocked the audience virtually out of its seat. He said that out of 42.000,000 people in England, only 71 last year earned up to $16,000 after taxes, had been deducted.; Sen. Byrd stated fur ther that out of the 42,000,000, on ly 320,000 of them earned as much as $2,800 to $5,000 after payment of taxes. "This left 41,680,000 peo ple earning less than $2,800 for the year. There was at least one doubter in the crowd, and he con hered a U. S. Government fiscal expert who had spoken earlier in the day on the Social Security laws. This statistician said Sen. Byrd was correct. QUESTIONNAIRES Some of the candidates for the Legislature are reporting that they are receiv ing questionnaires as to their posi tions on various matters which are likely to come uo in the 1951 Gen erar Assembly These queries are directed at the candidate's posi tion on taxes, etc. Meantime, Gov. Ken' Scott says he wants the next Legislature to leave here with a balanced budget and jf it requires extra taxes to balance it, all right. The trouble in North Carolina and in the Nation seems to be that everybody wants to cut. spending, but "don't cut on me" ... "reduce their appropriations; we don't have enough to operate on as it is". Some members of Congress fre quently make windy speeches about reducing our spending, but let the reduction btxrin in 'their' dis tricts and they yell to hich hoaverr. In the past, the rule in State de- parments here has been to spend ' all the money appropriated oth erwise the boss might think 'lie de partment's program has not been properly carried out , . , Voice of the People Who was the greatest athlete Waynesville ever produced? Phillip Queen: Either Freddy Crawford, All-America tackle , at Duke in 1933, or Jack Phillips Georgia Tech fullback and quarter back. It's a toss-up.

Among the physical difficulties found in the children were impair- Treatment depends upon the loss, eyesight defects, glandular de fects and emotional disabilities, ed breathing facilities, hearing correction of physical 'disorders and the ingenuity of the physician, Dr. Park reported. Felix Stovall: My vote goes to Jack Phillips, who played at Geor gia, Tech. If he hadn't gotten hurt ripht after his junior year at Tech, he would have gotten a lot more national recognition. Barbara Vickery: Jack Phillips is the greatest athlete Waynesville has ever produced, in my opinion, though I could name several oth ers, men and women, who have been truly great.
